Hi folks, 
I am the server owner and server mod for my Ruist server, i can type in the server owner id and my steam number and it says i'm already the owner. When i load plugins though, it says i do not have permission. Backpack mod for example says i need Auth Level 2, (BUT I DO...)

I take it theres a line of code i need to do somewhere.  The backpack for example should be available to all players, not just admin....

thanks

See Permissions

Every plugin that uses permissions has those permissions listed , The first one you grant is to yourself  so that you can then use those functions listed for Admins which includes granting those permissions that your players/groups require.

• backpacks.admin -- required for /viewbackpack command
• backpacks.gui -- required to use GUI button
• backpacks.use -- required to open your own backpack
• backpacks.use.1 - 7 -- gives player access to a certain amount of inventory rows overwriting the configured default size (e.g. backpacks.use.3 gives them 3 rows of item space; still requires backpacks.use)
• backpacks.fetch -- required to use the backpack.fetch command
• backpacks.keepondeath -- exempts player from having their backpack erased or dropped on death
• backpacks.keeponwipe -- exempts player from having their backpack erased on map wipe
• backpacks.noblacklist -- exempts player from the item blacklist

So you would first type /o.grant <yourname> backpacks.admin

That's not correct. The backpacks.admin permission does not grant the ability to grant other permissions. I'm not sure it's even possible for an oxide permission to allow granting other oxide permissions. As I understand it, high auth levels allow you to issue server commands from the client console, and oxide.grant / oxide.revoke are primarily server commands.

That is good to know and i will leave it to you to give the original poster the advice he needs.

Ok thanks for the answers, I'm trying to see where i type this in.  On my Rust Admin program console? or into the config file in my server? I'm trying to see what this code would look like in the correct place. hope this makes sence, the admin side of things is all new to me, i just played on other people's servers for years

See Permissions

You can type them into the server console (Rust Admin program console as you described it). If you are properly set as an owner, you can also issue them in your client console. Note that you have to reconnect after making yourself an owner for the owner permissions will take effect.

If i type it straight into the game console, how does the console know which plugin im trying to add permissions to? i have multiple plugins loaded

Merged post

sorry for the stupid questions, i just dont want to type it in the wrong location

Permissions are essentially global, but plugins prefix permissions that they register with their plugin name so they can find them.

For example, Backpacks registers backpacks.use. You will grant that permission to players or Oxide groups. Other plugins will usually not know or care about that permission, and they will be unaffected.

Those above are placeholders.

Run for example, oxide.grant group default backpacks.use. This will allow all players in the "default" group (which is everybody) to use backpacks.

This is adequately explained in that Permissions guide. There are also various YouTube tutorials from folks that walk you through setting up a server and using Oxide.

All of those commands are not valid, as you removed parts of the commands and aren't using valid permissions. 

Sure,  thanks anyway
